Feedback

Is it ever appropriate to contact a seller after many weeks of the puchase to request they leave me feedback? I am so tired of 'upping' everyone else's rating (buyers & sellers) & getting little feedback in return...especially with very, very experienced sellers...you would think they would be considerate enough to leave feedback, after I have left positive feedback for them. I don't want to cross any lines here that I shouldn't, so a little honest input is appreciated. Thank you. more…

New Seller Holding Policy

Hey! I have a pretty simple question... I am not that new to Ebay or its policies. I understand the holding of funds process to new sellers and I understand Ebay holds the funds from new sellers for at least a 21 day period or less (faster when you use Ebay shipping labels, which I do). My question is how many items do you have to sell before they lift this hold on your funds and begin getting payments immediately? I know I have only sold about 5 items so far (all of them were very smooth... more…

A negative transaction in progress

Hi ebay Guru's, I'm a new seller and have gotten myself into a situation. I have been dealing with a demanding buyer, and in my enthusiasm and naivety have accommodated her.   First, she was upset because a pair of earrings I had listed were in a bidding war (unexpected) and she didn't get them. Then, she asked me for what turned out to be a custom order (I'm not set up for custom). I made them and listed them,she never bought them, and that's okay. Then I listed afew others that were... more…
